Your calendar is full. But is your health even on it?

We've all got work deadlines and meetings, family responsibilities and a never ending to-do list. So there's always something that feels more urgent than making that doctor's appointment.
But here's the thing, prostate cancer doesn't wait until you have time to deal with it.

And because early-stage prostate cancer often has no noticeable symptoms, feeling fine doesn't necessarily mean everything is fine.

We understand that life gets busy, but taking care of your health shouldn't be the one thing that keeps getting pushed to tomorrow.

Know your family history.
Understand your risk.
Talk to your doctor about PSA screening.

Put your health on the calendar, and keep the appointment.

He felt fine. No pain. No symptoms. No reason to think anything was wrong.

But in 2015, Derrick heard three words that changed his life: “You have cancer.”

Prostate cancer.

That’s the thing about this disease. It doesn’t always announce itself. In its early stages, prostate cancer often has no symptoms at all.

Derrick was fortunate. His cancer was detected, he received treatment, and today he’s using his second chance to help other men protect their health.

But not every man’s story ends that way.

Too many men wait until something feels wrong before having a conversation about their prostate health. And for Black men, who face a disproportionately higher risk of developing and dying from prostate cancer, that conversation is especially important.

So here’s our ask:

💙 MEN: Don’t wait for symptoms. Know your risk. Talk to your doctor about whether PSA testing is right for you.

💙 WOMEN: Think about the men you love. Your husband, father, brother, son, or friend. Have you had this conversation with them lately?

And EVERYONE: Share this post with one man you care about. It could be the reminder he needs to take action.

Because feeling fine is wonderful. But knowing where you stand is even better.

Prostate Health Matters. Every day. Not just during awareness month.

What if Derrick had waited until something felt wrong?

Ten years ago, Derrick was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had no symptoms. No pain. No reason to believe anything was wrong. But he knew his family history. He understood his risk. And he'd been monitoring his PSA for years.
That knowledge helped him recognize when something changed and take action.

Today, he's a 10-year prostate cancer survivor. He's still active and still planning for the future. And using his experience to help other men understand the importance of early detection.

Early detection gives you the best possible chance at more life. So don't wait for symptoms to start paying attention.

Know your history.
Know your risk.
Know your PSA.

There's always a reason to put it off.

You're too busy, you feel fine, or maybe you're afraid of what you might find out. But avoiding the appointment doesn't protect you from a diagnosis. It only delays the opportunity to do something about it.

Prostate cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms. And waiting until something feels wrong could mean missing an opportunity for earlier detection.

Don't let fear, excuses, or a busy schedule make that decision for you.

Know your history.
Know your risk.
Talk to your doctor about PSA screening.

The appointment you've been avoiding? Make it today.

You shouldn't have to hear the words “you have cancer” before you start paying attention to your prostate health.

That's the message Derrick wants every man to hear.
Prostate cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms. You can feel healthy, stay active, and go about your everyday life without realizing something may be wrong.

Knowing your PSA means having the information you need to take action.
A simple blood test can be an important part of that conversation.

Know your history.
Understand your risk.
Talk to your doctor about PSA screening.

250 miles. One mission. Countless reasons to keep going. 🚴🏾‍♂️💙

Pushing Pedals for PSAs has officially come to an end. But the mission continues.

Over the past month, I rode to raise awareness about prostate health, encourage men to know their PSA, and remind families that early detection can save lives.

Along the way, I met survivors, heard powerful stories, and had conversations that reminded me why I started Prostate Health Matters.

This campaign wasn’t just about the miles or the money raised. It was about the men we reached, the conversations we started, and the lives we hope to impact.

To everyone who donated, encouraged me, shared our message, or gave me a man to ride for — thank you.

Ten years after my own prostate cancer diagnosis, I’m still here. Still riding. Still advocating.

The ride is over. The mission isn’t.

Because prostate health matters 365 days a year.

What if the thing you're most afraid of finding out is the very thing you need to know?

Derrick has spoken to men who would rather avoid getting screened than face the possibility of a cancer diagnosis, and he understands that fear. Ten years ago, he heard those words himself.
But here's what he wants every man to understand- Not knowing doesn't protect you. It only delays your opportunity to act.

Prostate cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms. You can feel perfectly healthy and still have something happening that needs attention.

Knowing your risk, understanding your PSA, and talking to your doctor about screening can make a critical difference.

Fear is normal. But don't let it make decisions about your health.
Through Pushing Pedals for PSAs, we're working to reach more men with the information they need to take action sooner.

There are some things you shouldn’t keep putting off, your health is one of them.

Derrick felt healthy when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had no obvious warning signs, but because he knew his family history and had been monitoring his PSA, he knew when something changed.

That knowledge gave him the opportunity to act.

Now, ten years later, he’s riding 250 miles to help more men become proactive about their prostate health.
The goal isn’t to make men afraid, but to help them know enough to take action.

Know your history.
Know your risk.
Talk to your healthcare provider about your PSA.

And help us reach the men who still need to hear this message.

163 miles down. 87 to go.
Day four is in the books, and Derrick keeps pushing.

Every mile of Pushing Pedals for PSAs represents Derrick's journey to reach those men who feels fine, the men who say "I'll schedule that appointment next month" and men who haven't thought about their prostate health.
Derrick is getting closer to his finish line and we still need your help reaching ours.

If you’ve been following his journey, now is the time to turn that support into action. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps Prostate Health Matters continue educating men and encouraging them to become more proactive about their health.

163 / 250 miles complete
87 miles left. Let’s make them count.
